I'd leave Beehaw 🤓

It's not nearly big enough to be its own thing, and since the "quality" of posters is no better than other instances at this point, there woild be no reason to stay. I would certainly miss the communities there tho.

Also, Tildes is not a very good site to look up to. Why would anyone want another admin power-tripping place online?

Russian trash propaganda. The government lost ground in Belgrade, so they rigged the municipal elections hard and are now asking for help from Putin after people went out to protest. I guess this article means they made a deal.

You have a very naive idea of software development.

Ok, I just revisited it after a few years, and it seems kinda decent now, altho it's still pretty ugly. Back when I first tried it when it launched, it was as barebones as it could be. Adding new podcasts sucked, it had no trim silence option, no web app etc. Still tho, Pocket Casts is ahead of it even today.

So people are actually using Google Podcasts? It's a pretty shit app for the use case.

This whole stunt reminds me of a certain former OpenAI board member...

Except that's definitely not the case, since unlike crypto shit, the latest wave of AI tech is already useful and found lots of applications. It may never reach AGI level, but that doesn't mean it's not immensely useful.

For people like me, who don't feel cashing out money for a font - Iosevka is a pretty decent opensource clone of PragmataPro. But the OG still looks better to me somehow.

After having to use TypeScript in a project, I don't see much usefulness. It feels more like a weird linter, than an actual language with extra features. It's tons of ugly boilerplate for little gain, at least so far in my experience.

Not even "potential", that's what it's been famous for way before the 2022 Ukraine war.

But, this is about as international as sanctions get. These are among the largest sanctions in history, in fact. Under your definition, no such thing as international sanctions ever happened. And the word "international" doesn't imply global, planetary or a majority.

Those are pretty international, y'know. What would your criteria be for calling sanctions international?
